Thanks guys, any suggestions where to light the train without over exposing the foreground.

I have watched the YouTube videos and the event one is excellent, I think I need to experiment more but it's pretty evident that to a point the hi-lite is designed to spill to contribute to the train. This is more of an issue with the 7x5 where space is a real premium IMHO.

I'd place the lights to the sides well out of frame on tall stands pointing down at the train, and even with or behind the subject line. Then experiment with angling the lights more toward or away from the camera to get the right balance.
